Buttery crackers wrapped with bacon and brown sugar, baked for a quick, sweet, and savory appetizer everyone enjoys.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
32 rectangular club crackers
02 -
16 thin bacon slices
03 -
65 grams packed light or dark brown sugar (approximately 1/3 cup)
04 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, optional
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
02 -
Slice bacon strips in half to create 32 pieces. Wrap one piece of bacon around each club cracker, ensuring most of the cracker is covered without excessive overlap. Arrange each piece on the wire rack, spaced evenly.
03 -
Sprinkle about half a teaspoon of brown sugar over the bacon section of each cracker. Optionally, lightly season each piece with black pepper.
04 -
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, monitoring after 20 minutes to prevent over-browning. Bacon should be crisp and sugar fully caramelized.
05 -
Remove tray from oven. Allow Bacon Crackers to cool on the rack for 5 minutes to let the coating set before serving warm or at room temperature.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Thin-sliced bacon ensures even cooking and avoids burning the crackers.
02 -
Bacon Crackers keep well; store in an airtight container chilled for up to three days, or freeze for up to one month and reheat to restore crispiness.
03 -
Wire rack promotes air circulation and helps bacon cook uniformly.
